Background Check

What is medical malpractice?

Medical malpractice is issued when negligence by a doctor causes injury to a patient. For example, a doctor may improperly diagnose, treat or medicate outside the standard of medical care. The three types of malpractice are: a settlement, an arbitration award, or a judgment.

If my doctor has malpractice history, does that mean he or she is a poor-quality doctor?

If your doctor has a malpractice claim, evaluate the information and determine if the action could potentially impact the quality of care you receive. Claim settlements and arbitration awards may occur for a variety of reasons, which should not necessarily reflect negatively on the doctor's professional competence or conduct.You may want to use this information to start a discussion with the doctor about his or her history and specific ability to provide healthcare for you.

How far back does Healthgrades malpractice history go?

Healthgrades reports details of a doctor’s malpractice history when the doctor has at least one closed medical malpractice claim within the last five years, even if he or she no longer practices in that state.

Background Check

What is a sanction or disciplinary action?

A sanction, also known as a disciplinary action, is an action taken to punish or restrict a doctor who has demonstrated professional misconduct. Sanctions may be imposed by a state medical board, professional medical licensing organization, or the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

If my doctor has sanction history, does that mean he or she is a poor-quality doctor?

If a doctor has a sanction, it does not necessarily mean that he or she is a poor-quality doctor. Some sanctions are not related to medical care, and involve a doctor’s finances or administrative activities. Before you make any choices about changing your doctor, we recommend that you evaluate the doctor’s sanction information and determine how severe or relevant you think the sanction cause and action were.

How far back does Healthgrades sanction history go?

Healthgrades reports state and federal sanctions from the previous five years, except when a doctor's license has been revoked or surrendered. Healthgrades displays all actions for doctors whose licenses have been revoked or surrendered.

For which states does Healthgrades collect sanction history?

Since Healthgrades painstakingly compiles disciplinary action information from all 50 states, Healthgrades website will show if a physician has a disciplinary action in more than one state.

0 Board Actions

What are board actions?

Background Check

What are board actions?

Board actions are non-disciplinary actions imposed upon a doctor based on a complaint investigation. A patient or medical colleague may file a complaint with that state medical board or professional licensing organization, which then investigates the complaint. Board actions are intended to ensure that a doctor is able to perform safe medical and health care tasks.

Types of non-disciplinary actions include an advisory letter, a corrective action agreement, a limitation or restriction on the medical or healthcare tasks a doctor can perform, or a voluntary agreement by the doctor not to practice. A board action can also include a termination of a corrective action agreement or voluntary agreement, which allows the doctor to return to full practice.

If my doctor has a board action, does that mean he or she is a poor-quality doctor?

If a doctor has a board action, it means he or she has had a non-disciplinary action imposed upon him or her. It does not necessarily mean that he or she is a poor quality doctor. Before you make any choices about changing your doctor, evaluate the doctor's board action information and determine how severe or relevant you think the cause and action were.

How far back does Healthgrades non-disciplinary board action history go?

Dr. Abhijit Chatterjee is a wonderful physician I happened to come across for my parents. He is incredibly kind, patient and helpful to both my parents. He is not only an informed physician, but a wonderful human being. I never met a doctor who took so much time with their patients. We appreciate him so much. If more doctors could follow, this world would be a better place. Thanks again Cindy for (Marie Schembri)

I'm a retired registered nurse who worked in the profession for 47 years. Dr. Chatterjee is the most competent, kind, and compassionate doctor who has ever treated my husband. My husband is afflicted with a variety of illnesses in addition to Type 2 Diabetes. He has a history of stroke and hypertension. Dr. Chatterjee is patient and caring - nothing is too trivial for him to examine and treat. His extensive knowledge of medicines and side effects allows my husband to maintain an active lifestyle

My aunt, Edythe, passed away and my family and myself are so appreciative of Dr. Chatterjee. We did not expect her to live more than 6 months, however with the wonderful care provided by Dr. Chatterjee, she lived for more than a year after her incident. There is no doubt that her lasting over a year more than first expected is in large measure due to the quality of care that she received. Edythe was the beneficiary of the very professional care provided by you and your staff.

My wife and I were patients of Dr. Chatterjee's for 3 years until we moved out of state. He is a very competent physician who takes a personal interest in his patients. We both miss his cheerful demeanor, and of course, his medical care. We believe he serves from the heart.

A note to describe Dr. Chatterjee and his kind staff. When I fell, Dr Chatterjee was unbelievable, he stayed late to see me. He is always reachable by phone even on weekends. Thereafter he called me every morning to see how my recovery was coming along. Everything he did for me was appreciated. ~Shirley~

Dr. Chatterjee is an amazing doctor that I was blessed to have him take care of both my parents over the years. He took the time with them listened to their concerns and never ever rushed them. He was their doctor for 13 years. May God bless him and watch over him.
